Case Study: Stockport Libraries achieves 24/7 access to books with bibliotheca’s outdoor remoteLocker

Stockport Libraries launches the UK’s first outdoor remoteLocker with bibliotheca, enabling 24/7 access

Stockport Libraries faced a significant challenge when one of its busiest branches had to close for redevelopment, requiring a solution to maintain services and keep residents connected with limited temporary space. They partnered with bibliotheca to implement an innovative self-service solution.

bibliotheca provided the UK's first outdoor remoteLocker, enabling 24/7 access for residents to pick up reservations and return books. The results were overwhelmingly positive, with immediate adoption by the community even before staff training was complete. The solution successfully removed barriers tied to library opening hours, enhancing accessibility and convenience for all users.
